Survive in New Demo for Tactical Co-Op Survival Horror ‘CODE EXIT’ [Trailer]
LINE Games and Phase 8 Studio have launched the first demo for their tactical FPS CODE EXIT. It’s you and up to three friends to descend into the AI-controlled city of Pantheon and battle the rogue AI Minvera in the “suffocating” atmosphere of the city in order to find the truth.
Players take on the role of investigators sent into Pantheon, which has been overrun by the rogue AI known as Minerva, an integrated artificial intelligence that has turned the city into a locked-down machine nightmare. As players explore dark, isolated facilities, they’ll have to contend with Minerva roaming the city, observing their behavior in real time, and adapting its tactics. Restore systems, recover hidden data, and work together to uncover the truth behind the collapse of Pantheon before Minerva closes in.
Players can choose to face the Minerva alone, or as mentioned, team up with up to three other players. The game scales its intensity based on your group size. Success depends on real-time communication and strategic coordination to stay one step ahead of Minerva.
Every playthrough offers a different mission to the exit. You must complete a series of randomized and stage-specific objectives while navigating the foreboding environment. No two sessions feel the same, as the missions and threats constantly evolve.
That main threat is Minerva, who roams the corridors in search of you. It observes your habits and remembers your favorite hiding spots. If you continuously repeat the same behavior, it will adapt and change its hunting pattern to catch you.
Look for the full version of CODE EXIT on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027.

‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Surpasses 8 Million Units Sold; ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Now Highest-Selling in Franchise
Capcom once again updated fans on their sales figures via their new quarterly report. And to no one’s surprise, Resident Evil Requiem continues to rake in the sales, having now crossed the 8 million units sold mark across the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. This all comes after the game reached 7 million units sold just three months ago.
In even bigger news, Resident Evil 5, which has sold just over 19 million across various incarnations, is no longer the best selling entry in the series. That title now belongs to 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, which has now moved 19.75 million copies across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
It gets only more crowded when you look at the numbers of other entries: Resident Evil 7: biohazard currently sits at 18.41 million, while Resident Evil 6 has hit 17.60 million units. 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake isn’t far behind with 16.04 million, while Resident Evil Village is at 15.86 million units. And while it’s considered a “miss” compared to the other remakes, 2020’s Resident Evil 3 remake is still at a respectable 14.52 million units.
Devil May Cry V, which was already the highest-selling entry in the franchise, has apparently seen a boost in sales thanks to the second season of the Netflix series and last month’s launch on the Switch 2, having now hit 14. 24 million units.
Meanwhile, we can look forward to Zach Cregger‘s violent take on the franchise with his Resident Evil film, which is set for a September 16 release.
